Seat Id?

Post by Old School »

I have a seat that came along with a GT750, it clearly is not a 750 seat. Does anyone know what year and size bike this may be from? Thanks

Take some measurements & I'll compare them to my GT250 seat.

Comparing to the ones on feebay, it sure looks like a GT250 seat. The pan mounting, shape and holes match. Thanks for the tips.

Not sure, but it might also be a GT185 seat.
Should be able to tell from the dimensions.

All of the 185 seats on feebay appear to have hinges.

I still think it's a 250.......on the 500, the rear mounts are slots rather than holes.

Thanks again for the help and input, in narrowing my search down.

When comparing seats, the pans are almost always different on every model, so I always look at it first. I look at the mounting along with any holes and ribs formed in them. Feebay is a good source for doing this.

The 500 seat pans do have similar look to them, side by side they are different from the one I have. Mine is a dead ringer to the oem GT250's listed. Thanks.
